As we draw closer to October's announcement of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame ballot, we found another poll of fan sentiment.

The online polling site Gold Derby just released the results of a survey showing rising support for Bon Jovi. The New Jersey band received 35 percent of the votes, compared to The Monkees, who came in second at 26 percent. Three Dog Night were third with 11 percent support.

Rounding out the Top 10 are The Moody Blues, The Doobie Brothers, Boston, Dire Straits, The Cars, Styx and The Commodores.

Donald Fagen has pulled the plug on the last four shows of his tour, reportedly due to illness.

We reached out to his office to see if the illness is code for his attending a service for Walter Becker, who died earlier this month, but have not heard back. The canceled dates are tonight (Tuesday) in Portland, Oregon; Wednesday in Seattle; Friday in Saratoga, California; and Saturday in San Francisco.

Fagen is scheduled to play two shows in Yokohama, Japan next week before regrouping Steely Dan for a tour in October.

Gene Simmons has taken the wraps off his forthcoming box set, which no doubt is the priciest collection you'll ever buy -- if you're crazy enough to buy it.

But wait, there's more. In addition to his handing you the box, you'll get two hours with him at your home or another location of your choice, and you can invite to 25 friends and family members. Plus you'll receive photos, videos and autographs; an intimate Songs and Stories playback session; and a Q&A with Gene.

If the $50,000 price tag is too rich or ridiculous for your blood, there's the $25,000 package, which gets you a SKYPE call with Simmons; a one-hour private studio preview with Simmons, offering the opportunity to listen to tracks before they are released; a distinguished Executive Producer credit; a photo, video and autograph opportunity; one of the first 500 limited-edition numbered VAULTs; and a VAULT Pre-Pack.

Still too much money? Then how about the $2000 package, which gets you the box set along with a limited-edition collectible, including a Gene Simmons non-makeup action figure and an “In Gene We Trust” oversized medallion, and a one-of-a-kind, hand-selected original piece of memorabilia from his personal collection.

Simmons says, "Any artist can release a boxed set, and never really thank the fans for their support. I want to celebrate my 50th anniversary in rock WITH the fans, and I have had a blast putting something really special together for them. THE VAULT EXPERIENCE gives fans something truly unique that they can keep forever, and it gives me a chance to personally thank them for all of their support over the years.”

And it gives Gene more money that he doesn't need.
